A full EV version of the new Chevrolet Spark, a Lamborghini Aventador roadster, and a roll-top Hyundai Veloster concept are just some of the automotive sights on the floor of the 2012 LA Auto Show.

2013 Toyota RAV4

2013 Toyota RAV4

Toyota's RAV4 might not be the most exciting debut at the 2012 LA Auto Show, but with annual sales around 175,000 units, this SUV is a big deal for the Japanese automaker. Wrapped in all-new sheetmetal, the 2013 RAV4 is close to the outgoing model's exterior and interior dimensions, being slightly longer and wider but with an identical wheelbase. Inside, the RAV4's dashboard follow the horizontal design theme of the latest Camry and Yaris, with a standard rear backup camera included in the large display. Both the three-row version and the V-6 disappear when the RAV4 hits dealers in January; the 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder engine's output drops 3 hp to 176.

Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept

Hyundai Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept

Designed with a young, hip, and active demographic in mind (cliche alert, cliche alert), Hyundai's C3 (convertible three door) concept is inspired by California's bike and skateboarding culture. The roll top can be opened to the front or the rear, and the floor is constructed of recycled skateboard decks. During the unveiling, Hyundai showed off the car's utility by rolling the top to the front, lowering the rear lift gate, and storing a standing bike in the rear cargo space. The roll top's design was a bit much, but we like the idea.
